rocknev 2 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 took a mate and his father in law out to the rocks this evening.. the old bloke didnt have a rod, so i lent him my loner butterworth with a big eggie on it...nope, he took the eggie off, and puts on a masterpiece of a relic seamaster.. first time ive actually seen one in real life...he got snagged, and the reel let go...he tried to sort it out, and next thing, a vintage seamaster is flying across the rocks... hahaha.. pretty runny, but he composed himself and picked it up for a re think.. pulled it apart on the rocks and got it working again.. few casts, and then it broke again, and again it flew.. hahahaai went and got a screwdriver, and we had a look inside.. was the simpelest hing wrong with it, but couldnt be fixed.. a broken spring , which is needed to stop the reel from spinning backwards... he chanegd to the egiie, but not a fish to be seen... plenty of shitties around, as the rod dances around for a couple of minutes, then stops...meaning no bait.. oh well.... we get em next time.
